A sample of oxygen has a volume of 205cm³ when its temperature is 22.0°C and its pressure is 30.8 kPa.

What volume will the gas occupy at STP?

1 answer

Use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT
Hence, 'nR' is a constant term
=> (PV/T) = constant

=> (PV/T)1 = (PV/T)2

Put in the given values on the left hand side and the STP conditions on the right. Remember to take temperature in Kelvin!
